English as a Second Language Conversation Group

Learn and practise speaking English in a friendly, relaxed environment. 

This class uses a range of strategies and activities aimed at developing and extending conversational English.  Strategies include worksheets, games, discussion, puzzles, reading, writing, problem solving, and role plays.  The aim is to assist participants to develop the confidence to engage in day to day activities and to have a level of understanding of Australian culture to assist them in making connections and developing links within the community. 

Refunds will be made when a course is cancelled or when a participant withdraws up to a week before the starting date.  Refunds will only be made part - way through a term if you experience an unexpected event (eg. illness) and you provide supporting evidence (eg. medical certificate).  The cost of any previously attended classes / sessions will be deducted before a refund is made.  For refunds of $50 or less, a cancellation fee of $5 applies.  For refunds greater than $50, a cancellation fee equal to 10% of the refunded amount will apply.  

BOOKINGS & ENROLMENTS

Bookings are essential for all events.  

All prices are G.S.T inclusive. 

ABSENCE

If you will be / are away from class / session for more than 2 weeks during term, please ensure you advise your tutor / leader, or the office.  This will ensure you keep your place.  

If your circumstances change and you no longer need your place in your class / session, please let us know so it can be offered to the next person on the waiting list. 

RFUNDS

We are happy to offer a full refund should you choose to cancel your enrolment prior to the activity commencing. ie. cancellation of Term enrolment prior to the first session of the Term. 

Unfortunately we are not able to extend this refund offer to activities where included materials are ordered, in advance, for each participant prior to the class commencing. In this scenario, the refund would be the class fee, less the cost of materials and tuition.  

We do offer refunds for individual sessions missed due to medical reasons, illness or injury. 

We are a small not for profit community centre and most of our activities are 'fee for service' meaning we rely on enrolment fees paid by participants to cover our overhead costs, including facilitator wages. For this reason we rely on full Term commitment to activities and charge fees as Term fees. 

We are unable to offer casual or pay as you go options, and we cannot provide refunds or credits for sessions missed due to other outings or holidays. We appreciate your understanding.
